That's just a nonsense; claiming that EASA's professional concerns are done out of "being political" is the sort of Boeing management attitude that got us here in the first place. The Max has very many European parts on it of course, starting with its engines which are 50% a French product between Safran and GE. Safran (bit of a clue in the last four letters of the name), which still has a significant French government ownership stake, must be going to lose a lot of money in all this.
